Here at Unwholesome Foods, we’re not just about making people queasy. We actually spend a lot of time cooking things you might actually want to eat. But even our more wholesome concoctions can get a little unusual.

Last year for Beth’s 27th birthday, Alex made her an ice cream cake. The cake was a 3x3x3 cube made from 9 blocks each of toasted almond ice cream, chocolate peanut butter ice cream, and Vietnamese coffee ice cream (recipes from The Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accompaniments). It turns out those flavors all melt at different rates, so if you decide to make such a thing, serve it right after you take it out of the freezer.
